A giant bird spread its wings and flew over the tall shrubs. Harry and the others followed the bird's chirp and looked up.
Every pair of young eyes reflected a rich green. The branches and leaves of the abnormally tall trees were connected, and together with the vines that climbed like pythons, they covered the sky and the sun.
The strong green made everything in front of them look unreal.
Then they suddenly remembered that this was supposed to be a dream.
But first they saw a small lawn. It seemed that they could discuss a strategy to get out of the maze here for the time being. Before entering the maze, Jason gave Harry the map.
So Harry unfolded the map in the middle of the lawn.
Everyone gathered around to look at it.
"We're here now." Harry first found their location based on the observable scenery within sight.
"The exit is here." Padma Pettier quickly pointed to the other end of the map.
The two places were separated by a lake, bushes, and many unknown black squares.
A Hufflepuff girl looked at the map for a while.
Then she asked, "Harry, aren't you a Dream Builder?"
Harry was indeed a Dream Builder, but he did not know what those black squares were. "We created our own dreams separately.
Then we handed them over to the Professors to form.
And … I guess the Professors will also add their own things to the maze. "The child stuck out his tongue, indicating that the others should not count on him.
Speaking of which, there were actually two Dream Builders in this team.
Drac Malfoy stood behind a group of young wizards sitting on the ground and looked at the map for a while.
Suddenly she said, "Potter, we have to split up."
Harry looked back at Drac.
Young Malfoy squeezed in between Harry and Ron.
He took out his magic wand from the pocket of his robe.
Then he slowly drew a line on the map.
It was a route. Everyone quickly saw that the wand was drawing a route out of the maze. The black line zigzagged through the whole map. Drac explained as she drew. "These are the only two routes out of the maze, but — this one requires passing through a long forest and is very dangerous. The other route passes through the lake, but there are low shrubs along the way. But …" Drac looked at everyone. "Before reaching the lake, there are two routes."
Harry and the others followed Drac's wand and looked at the map. There were indeed two black lines in the direction of the lake, and there were black squares on both sides of the road.
"Why do we have to split up?" Ron did not understand. "Isn't it safer to move together? There's strength in numbers. "
Harry understood what Drac meant. "Because we don't know what's of these places... if there's danger, it's better to stay alive..
"If there's danger, of course we have to go together." Ron could not accept it. Many people in the team had the same idea. Padma objected. "And I don't think the professors will let us get into trouble at the beginning." After all, they were still first-year wizards.
Drac pursed her lips and showed a mean expression. But before she could say anything sarcastic, Harry proposed a second plan. "I think it's better to be cautious, but we don't have to split up. How about this? We'll send a group of people in first, and after they pass through this part of the road, we'll send a signal for the others to come in."
This plan was supported by a large number of people, and it was obvious that the first group of people would be relatively stronger.
"That's taking too much time." Drac frowned slightly. "We only have two hours."
Blushing, Susan Burns said, "But we only need to do this for this part of the road!"
"Yeah, we have to hurry." Harry looked at the map again. "Let's pick the first group."
Everyone murmured in agreement. Derek also shut his mouth when he saw this.
Ron, who had performed outstandingly in the fighting class, was quickly selected. The two girls from Ravenclaw also took the initiative to show that they were willing to scout ahead. Then, everyone looked at Slythrin.
Drac knew the most spells in the group, but she looked at Harry first. Harry blinked, took out his baby wand, and waved it twice. Drac's mouth twitched, and she stood in front of the first group.
Pansy looked at the rest of the group — oh, a bunch of Hufflepuff — and stood with Drac.
The two Hufflepuff boys also joined in.
Ron actually wanted to pull Harry along, but he also saw Harry's baby wand, so he had to give up. He watched as Drac took the map from Harry's hand.
At Harry's reminder, Neville used his wand to show the time in the air. If the first group did not return for a long time, they would have to follow them no matter what.
Drac looked at the time after entering the passage. It had been fifteen minutes since they entered the maze. Based on her understanding of the interior of the maze, it was probably a little tight.
"Pansy, you and the two Ravenclaw girls will walk in the middle."
Of course, the boys did not have any objections. So the formation became Drac and Ron walking in front, and the two Hufflepuff boys acting as the wings (?). Pansy and the two Ravenclaw girls also held their wands tightly and followed behind the boys.
This was the first time Ron walked side by side with the young Drac. He could not help but look at Drac a few times. Drac also quickly noticed it. She glanced at Ron twice but did not say anything.
Yes, that's the look! Ron snorted and did not look at Drac anymore.
"Do you guys … feel that it's getting colder?" Padma suddenly asked.
It was indeed getting colder. The three girls slowly squeezed together. Pansy stood in the middle, holding a Ravenclaw girl in each hand. It felt inexplicably like a harem.
After walking for a while, Ron first noticed that the shrubs on both sides of the road were covered in frost. The grass under their feet was getting thinner, and the thin yellow grass was lying on the ground. They seemed to be walking from grassland to wasteland.
Ron stopped the group and stopped. In front of them was a tall wall made of vines. Frost was spreading from the branches and leaves. According to the map in Drac's hand, this should be the location of the first black square.
"Okay, brothers — and girls, get your wands ready." Ron took out his wand first.
"Shut up, Weisles!" Drac turned around and cast a Heat Preservation Spell on Pansy. Then she sneered at Ron. "You better not drag us down."
"Drag us down?" Ron pointed at his nose in disbelief. "Malfoy! I'm not like those two big brothers of yours! "
Drac was not in the mood to talk nonsense with Ron. If she was not mistaken, the obstacle here was set by Drac himself. Weisles' muscles could not deal with Drac's imagination.
"Arahjo, open!" However, Drac was not worried about Weisles' life and death. So she stepped forward and opened the vines. The wind and snow poured in, and at the same time, there was a sudden roar.
In the hurricane, everyone subconsciously held on to the person next to them and barely managed to stand firm. However, the swirling snowflakes made it hard for anyone to see the road ahead. They could only vaguely see a huge white shadow pouncing towards them, accompanied by a terrifying roar —
smash！”
Wtf？ Drac was confused — there was no Hulk in his dream!
While the advance team was fighting with the Frost Hulk in the white wind and snow, Harry and the others were falling into a black abyss.
Harry lay on the grass with his face in his hands and looked at his friends innocently. "Are we sinking?"
Neville, who was the most reliable in terms of weight, already had two little badgers hanging on him. His round face was full of helplessness. "Yes, Harry …"
Okay. Harry sighed and screamed with the others, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh —"
The remaining troops were sitting on the grass peacefully, chatting and singing songs, looking at the clock and waiting for Drac and the others to come back. But after five minutes, they realized that something was wrong. The grass under them seemed to be getting softer and softer, like a water bed, a pudding, or a swamp?
The screaming wizards fell into a pile of black vines. Before Harry could catch his breath, the vines wrapped around him. The child was shocked. "Tentacle play?"
"No, Harry, this is the Devil's Web …" Neville, who was not far away, shouted in between the screams.
"Alright, this is the Devil's Web. What else?" Harry pulled the thick vines in front of his chest and was surprised to find that the vines were thicker than his arm.
"I …" Neville was swallowed by the vines before he could answer. Harry did not dare to move and was obediently tied to the ground. He then shouted to a Hufflepuff girl whose head could still be seen, "Hannah Abo, how's your herbalism?"
The Hufflepuff girl with two blonde ponytails seemed to have been scared to tears by the sudden change. Harry had to comfort her before the girl could recall the contents of the class. "Devil's Web … Devil's Web … When you encounter the Devil's Web, you must not panic …"
“don’t
Harry took a deep breath and continued to ask, "What else?"
Susan Burns had already heard the conversation between the two and thought of the key point. She shouted excitedly, "Fire! The Devil's Web is afraid of fire! "
"That's easy. Did anyone bring a match?" Harry asked seriously, lying on the Devil's Web.
"Harry!" Susan's already pink face turned even redder. Fortunately, she had been holding the wand in her hand all this time. Fortunately, there was one spell that they had learned that was suitable for this situation. Susan gritted her teeth and chanted the spell a few times. Finally, a string of beautiful flames emerged from the tip of the wand. As soon as the vines touched the flames, they trembled and loosened. After the girl fell to the ground, she quickly released a few more strings of flames to save her companions.
"Oh … I love Hufflepuff!" Harry climbed up from the ground and smelled the soil. He immediately realized that this should be Rolf's dream. But now, there were three Hufflepuffs here.
"No, Harry, I don't think it's that simple …" Neville, who was still gasping for breath, said with a pale face.
“what？” Before Harry's voice trailed off, he found that something was blowing behind his head. Judging from the expressions of his companions, it was not something friendly.
